1945年，马尼拉的美国情报官员发现日本人在菲律宾藏匿了大量金条和其他掠夺来的财宝。杜鲁门总统决定收回黄金，但对财富保密。这些将与美国占领期间在日本境内发现的宝藏以及在欧洲发现的纳粹掠夺物相结合，以创建一个全球性的美国政治行动基金来对抗共产主义。在麦克阿瑟将军、杜鲁门总统和约翰·福斯特杜莱的监督下，这些“黑金”为华盛顿提供了几乎无限的、不负责任的资金，提供了一个资产基础来加强美国盟友的国库，贿赂政治和军事领导人，并操纵外国的选举长达50多年。《黄金勇士》利用大量原始文件和数千小时的采访，揭露了二十世纪最大的国家机密之一。
In 1945, US Intelligence officers in Manila discovered that the Japanese had hidden large quantities of gold bullion and other looted treasure in the Philippines. President Truman decided to recover the gold but to keep its riches secret. These would be combined with treasure recovered inside Japan during the US occupation, and with Nazi loot recovered in Europe, to create a worldwide American political action fund to fight communism. Overseen by General MacArthur, President Truman, and John Foster Dulles, this "Black Gold" gave Washington virtually limitless, unaccountable funds, providing an asset base to reinforce the treasuries of America's allies, to bribe political and military leaders, and to manipulate elections in foreign countries for more than fifty years. Drawing on a vast range of original documents and thousands of hours of interviews, Gold Warriors exposes one of the great state secrets of the twentieth century.
